Even If It Mispronounces Things

My home phone has been limping along for the last little while... key buttons becoming harder and harder to make work.

It's not an expense I felt like I needed, so I put it off for a while and then finally gave in and went and bought a cheap new one.

Which was so cheap everything sounded terrible including the ring and the people on the other end of the line.

So back it went, and I bought the more expensive brand that I was used to.

But the cheapest one of those.

Which, as it turned out, did not have a feature that I didn't realize I'd grown to love.  "Spoken caller ID"

So, for example, when I'm in the bath it says "Call from Sarah" and I can, because I usually have my cell phone near my bath, text Sarah and say "hey, just in the bath, what's up?"

Or, I can ignore a call from "Unknown number" when I'm cozy on my couch.  I don't know, I just didn't know it was something I liked until this new phone didn't have it.

The new phone lasted a couple of days before I really missed the talking phone and went and exchanged it.

So now I know, from my phone's "voice" who's calling when the phone's not right there next to me.

I know, C-Dawg thinks I'm crazy to care and you probably do too but sometimes it's the little things.
